 Hi all:

 While I'm sure this is obvious for most, but I just discovered this.

 Using one browser (browser A) I can access one of my pages and create a
 cookie with a user input value.

 Then using a different browser (browser B), I can access the same page
 and create another cookie with another user value.

 Now, it would seem to me that I shouldn't have two cookies with the same
 name both having different contents, but that's exactly what I've found
 -- for browser A will produce one value and browser B will produce
 another value.

Can you provide some examples for what you mean?

David:

Sure, you can see what I found above by going to:

http://xn--ovg.com

and creating a cookie.

Then do the same thing again, but this time with a different browser and different value.

Then quit each browser and re launch each with this url:

http://xn--ovg.com/cookie/getcookie.php

You will find that each browser reports ONLY the cookie you left with it.

It's kind of neat actually.

And in retrospection, I guess that this is the only way it could work considering that each browser has it's own way of handling cookies. I just never realized it before.
